Father and sons fail in their defamation case

COURT HEARD ALLEGATIONS OF SEXUAL ABUSE

http://www.newrossstandard.ie/news/father-and-sons-fail-in-their-defamation-case-2103829.html

A FATHER and three sons failed in their defamation action brought against a fellow member of the Jehovah Witnesses when judgement was delivered at Kilkenny Circuit Court on Wednesday last.

In her Reserved Judgement, Judge Alice Doyle said that the Elders had acted in a proper way.

Judge Doyle upheld the defence of qualified privilege and further held that the defence was not defeated.

The Judge therefore dismissed the O'Connors' claim is respect of both sets of proceedings. The Judge made no order as to costs.

Does this mean that they did rape him or that their claim that the JC defamed character was dismissed?
